No sex difference in perceived competence of computer use among male and female college students in 2002.

Full Abstract

The present research examined sex differences in general computer knowledge and computer anxiety. Survey data about computer knowledge, comfort, and interest were collected from 697 students, 579 from a previous study in 2001 at three types of colleges (a four-year liberal arts college, a business college, or a community college). With few exceptions, no differences associated with sex were detected. Implications for the present findings are discussed.
